Dark Knight Breaks More Records

I’m probably one of the six people in America who hasn’t seen Dark Knight. The movie is breaking all sorts of box office records worldwide and it just slashed through another one. The Batman sequel has climbed past $400 million at the box office in just 18 days, the fastest pace ever, according to a studio executive. As of Monday, the film had taken in $400.04 million domestically, so says its distributor, Warner Bros. Dark Knight hit that mark in less than half the time it took for the previous record-holder, Shrek 2, which crossed the $400 million level on its 43rd day of release. The movie also had a record opening weekend of $158.4 million. Will it surpass Titanic for the number one highest-grossing domestic movie? We’ll just have to wait and see, won’t we? I think I’ll probably just wait for the DVD and contribute to that Warner Bros. fund instead.
